The day saw a variety of vessels plying the waters of the St. Clair River. It was also a day full of weather surprises...sunny and warm, followed by a couple of hours of light rain and cloudy skies. In late afternoon, a stiff north wind brought the temperature down from high 60°s to 52°! One minute, I was in a sweatshirt and denims and the next I was hurrying back to the car for a jacket!
